[DX][UX] Keyboard shortcut for admin menu search

Description of the need

Installing a new backdrop today, I noticed the search box in the admin toolbar (I may have disable it on every other sites). And I found the autocomplete pretty useful actually !!

As a nerdy keyboard addict, I would appreciate a keyboard shortcut to get a focus on the search box. Like "Ctrl-K" for searching into Firefox.

Proposed solution Implements a little JS to offer a keyboard shortcut

Pretty much like https://www.drupal.org/project/coffee
